Pine Straw Country Sunshine takes first All Age placement on the prairies.

Pine Straw Country Sunshine (Dottie) went big and brought home a 3rd place in the Leon Covington Jr. All Age trial held near Trail City, South Dakota. Dottie has been coming along well and she showed that she can really roll when called for. We have high hopes for Dottie, both in trials and as a future dam for Pine Straw puppies.

Pine Straw Magpie gets 3rd in Amateur Limited Gun Dog.

Pine Straw Magpie (Maggie) garnered a third place in the Amateur Gun Dog stake of the Weimaraner Club of Greater Louisville trial in November of 2016. This was Maggie's first trial of the year and she did a nice job nocking the rust off to come in with a third place ribbon. Maggie is fun to handle.

Pine Straw Sweet Tea comes in at runner-up for 2016 Bill Conlin English Setter Shooting Dog Derby award.

Jeanette Tracy and her scout Dillon Shaffer had a good year with Pine Straw Sweet Tea (Sugar). With multiple derby placements, Sugar was in the mix all year but was edged out in the end. We are proud of Sugar and excited to see what her career holds.
